Re: Any One know a trick to install belt? 96 Cav
I've got a 2.4, however there should be an idler pully. There should be a diagram somewhere in the engine bay that shows proper routing. You should be able to get at the idler pully with a ratchet or if it has the triangular hole in it, use anything that will fit in there to take tension off. You really need to come on to it to get enough slack to install the new belt.

Thank You, I got it..
I was used to seeing the other type tentioner that you pull up.
I see how the idler pully rotates downward with a 15mm ratchet..

Thanx..got it done
